Manufacturer · Fashion & Home Accessories
To order urea buttons wholesale without surprises, send the manufacturer a complete specification – model, size in lignes, number of holes, colour, finish, logo, and garment care instructions – and approve physical samples before production. A well-defined order saves corrections, delays, and shade differences between batches. Below is a practical checklist for garment factories, brands, and uniform manufacturers.
Urea Buttons Wholesale – What to Include in the Specification
| Parameter | What to Specify | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Catalogue code or profile sketch | Flat, rounded edge, recessed centre |
| Size | In lignes (L) or mm | 18L (11.4 mm) and 24L (15.2 mm) |
| Holes | 2, 4, or shank | 4 holes |
| Thickness | For specific buttonhole or machine | According to model |
| Colour | Code, Pantone, or fabric swatch | Fabric swatch, batch X |
| Finish | Matte, satin, effect | Matte |
| Logo | Method and vector file | Tonal laser engraving |
| Usage | Garment type and care instructions | Shirt, wash 60 °C, industrial ironing |
| Quantity | By size and colour | Separate for each size |
| Packaging | Counting and labelling requirements | By size and colour |
The more precise the specification, the faster you will receive an offer and samples. Available models can be viewed in the urea buttons category.
How to Calculate Quantity
- Count the buttons per garment by size – front, cuffs, collar, pockets, spare button.
- Multiply by the number of garments in each size.
- Add allowance for sewing defects and repairs – usually a few percent based on factory experience.
- If the garment will be reordered, consider a larger batch per colour to ensure consistent shade.
Minimum order quantities depend on the article and whether the colour is standard or custom – please send an inquiry.
Samples: What to Test
Samples are not a formality. Use them to verify the button in your actual production process:
- Button machine – does the button feed smoothly without jamming or scratching by the clamp?
- Buttonhole – does the button pass easily without stretching or slipping?
- Colour – compare with fabric under daylight and artificial light.
- Washing and ironing – several cycles following the garment care instructions, including industrial pressing.
- Seam strength – pull test after washing.
Batch Inspection on Arrival
When the goods arrive, randomly check cartons from different locations for:
- Size conformity with caliper – diameter and thickness;
- Colour matching the approved sample;
- Holes – centred, clean, without edges that cut the thread;
- Surface – no cracks, chips, or stains;
- Logo – legibility and position.
If you find deviations, document them with photos and samples and contact the manufacturer before sewing. Claims after sewing are much more costly.
The Most Expensive Mistakes When Ordering Wholesale
Ordering Without Samples
Especially with custom colours. Shade differences only become noticeable after sewing buttons on hundreds of garments.
Wrong Material for Care Instructions
If the garment is ironed with a press or washed at high temperature, a cheaper polyester button may cost more due to claims. Conversely, urea is not mandatory for delicate home care.
Separate Orders for Different Sizes
If 18L and 28L are ordered at different times, the shade may vary slightly. Order all sizes of one colour together.
Unclear Logo
The logo must be readable on the smallest button size. Use a simplified version if needed. Examples are in the engraved buttons category.
Missing Reference
Keep approved samples and codes. They are the basis for every reorder and the only objective criterion in case of disputes about colour or size.
What Determines the Price
- Button size and thickness;
- Model complexity and number of finishing operations;
- Standard colour or custom colour;
- Presence and method of logo;
- Quantity per article and colour.
For a specific price, send a request for quotation with your specification.
Logistics and Planning
Buttons are a small component, but their absence stops the entire production line. A few rules help avoid downtime:
- Plan the button order together with the fabric order, not after cutting;
- For custom colours, allow time for sample buttons and possible corrections;
- Specify packaging – by size and colour, with clear labelling to avoid mixing items in the warehouse;
- For seasonal collections, order a reserve for reorders instead of placing a new small batch.
Production and delivery times depend on the article and quantity and are specified in the offer.
Why Work Directly with the Manufacturer
Direct contact with the manufacturer shortens the chain for colour corrections and reorders. You can discuss technical questions – thickness, profile, behaviour in the button machine – with the people who make the buttons and receive samples faster.
